On Sunday, media personality Geraldo Rivera announced he had stepped down from his role as an associate fellow at Yale, following the university’s decision to rename a college that had once been dedicated to a staunch slavery supporter.

Yale University announced it would change the name of Calhoun College to instead honor Grace Murray Hopper, who was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer during World War II and also helped develop the Mark II and Mark III computers. The school had originally been named for John C. Calhoun, who held several high-profile positions in government, including vice president, senator, and secretary of state. Calhoun called slavery a “positive good.”

Jose that sounds funny. I wish my Spanish was better. Jerry Rivers likes to preen, pose and posture. But mostly pose. I figure that Jerry figured out a long time ago if you look concerned, act concerned but don’t really give a damn, pretty women won’t notice. THEN, the real posturing can begin.
